This is the LOVEJIHADI blog and I am currently reporting from the cyber-frontlines in the many contested Muslim worlds. Follow me on twitter @parvezsharma or join me on Facebook at Parvez Hussein Sharma and try to watch A JIHAD FOR LOVE
Ground-breaking new FILM and BOOK coming soon, and when that happens I will blog more often.

Mr Sharma, Shabana Azmi is a well known social activist and has made a career in art house cinema unlike the mainstream that bollywood is generally associated with. She has portrayed the poorest of the poor in her film roles and in doing so has sensitised the "better off" sections of the society of a world below them. The cake was a tribute and certainly not tastless. Its only "pseudo" intellectuals like you who would think otherwise. Its very easy to write for a paper from a country that ruled over you and gain cheap publicity at the expense of someone who has been "down in the trenches". Could you please blog about your contributions to the slum dwellers of Dharavi or any other place before raising questions about Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar's sense of humour?

A JIHAD FOR LOVE TRAILER

This JIHAD IS ON FIRE

September 2007 is when I started (with a finished film, my first) and now some 49 countries and 8 million people later, the whole world is talking. The movement around this work has begun worldwide. We will be screening next year around the world and yes in Muslim countries as well.
